"Fortress Of Akabah, Arabia, Petraea" is a notable lithograph created by the Scottish artist David Roberts in the mid-19th century. Roberts, renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern landscapes and architecture, embarked on a grand tour of the region in 1838-1839. His journey took him through Egypt, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Levant, where he meticulously sketched and documented the ancient sites and scenes he encountered. These sketches later served as the basis for a series of lithographs, which were published between 1842 and 1849 in a collection titled "The Holy Land, Syria, Idumea, Arabia, Egypt, and Nubia."

The lithograph "Fortress Of Akabah, Arabia, Petraea" captures the imposing structure of the Aqaba Fortress, located in modern-day Jordan. This fortress, historically significant due to its strategic position at the northern tip of the Red Sea, has been a site of military and commercial importance for centuries. Roberts' depiction is characterized by its attention to architectural detail and the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, which brings the ancient edifice to life.

Roberts' work is celebrated for its historical accuracy and artistic merit. His lithographs provided a European audience with some of the first visual representations of these distant and exotic locales, contributing significantly to the 19th-century fascination with the Orient. The publication of his works was a considerable success and remains a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. Roberts' ability to combine artistic skill with a documentary approach has cemented his reputation as one of the foremost Orientalist artists of his time.
